DescriptionCVE.org

The NEX-Forms - Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 9.2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential report IDs and download complete form submission data - including names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, payment details, and uploaded file paths - for any saved report on the site.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated form submission data exfiltration in NEX-Forms - Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress (all versions through 9.2.2) exposes sensitive PII and payment details to any remote attacker. Missing authorization checks on report download endpoints allow sequential enumeration of report IDs without any credentials, enabling mass harvesting of names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, payment details, and file paths from every saved form report on the site. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the low attack complexity and zero authentication requirement make opportunistic exploitation straightforward.

Technical ContextAI

NEX-Forms is a WordPress form-builder plugin (slug: nex-forms-express-wp-form-builder) that stores submitted form data as sequentially numbered 'reports' accessible via plugin-specific endpoints. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the plugin's report download handler in main.php (confirmed at lines 3648, 3654, and 3792 in both the 9.1.12 and 9.2.2 tagged releases in the WordPress SVN repository) does not invoke any capability or nonce check before serving report content to the requesting user. Because report IDs are sequential integers, an unauthenticated attacker can iterate numerically from ID 1 upward to enumerate all saved reports. The affected code paths are confirmed present in two distinct tagged releases, establishing that the flaw spans the full version history up to and including 9.2.2.

RemediationAI

Update NEX-Forms to the version released after 9.2.2 once available; a code change (changeset revision 3584399 in the WordPress SVN repository) has been committed upstream but the exact released patched version number is not independently confirmed from available data - monitor the WordPress.org plugin page and the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ecf39f38-a476-47a8-a632-986b851895a6 for a confirmed fixed release. As an interim compensating control, site administrators can restrict access to the plugin's report download endpoints at the web server or WAF layer by blocking unauthenticated requests to the relevant WordPress admin-ajax or REST API routes used by NEX-Forms for report retrieval; trade-off is that this may break legitimate authenticated report access if the rule is too broad. If form submission storage is not required, disabling the report-saving feature within the plugin reduces the attack surface immediately with no data-exfiltration risk. Operators should also audit existing saved reports for sensitive data and consider notifying affected form submitters if payment or PII data has been stored.
